Chapter 148: Chapter 148 The Woman Who Admires the Ghost King (Part 2)
Mu Ruyue smiled, but there wasn’t a hint of warmth in that smile; it was cold enough to chill one to the bone.
“Since you know I don’t like you, there’s no need to pester me. You can’t compare to Wuchen, not even to a single hair on his head.”
For a moment, Ye Yihua fell silent, as if no one knew what he was thinking. Mu Ruyue also stopped paying attention to this man and turned to leave the place.
However, just as she took a step, the pleasant voice of the man behind her said, “Mu Ruyue, you should know that the Xiao Family has sent someone to visit our Purple Moon Country. As guests of the Xiao Family, they require reception by the most distinguished person in Purple Moon Country. Aside from the Ghost King and yourself, Ye Tianfeng, as the disciple of Master Tianyuan, is the most distinguished. The emperor knows you dislike being disturbed, so he had Ye Tianfeng receive the guests from the Xiao Family.”
Mu Ruyue stopped her steps but didn’t turn back, merely wanting to hear what Ye Yihua really wanted to say.
“The Xiao Family people once went to the Prince Jing Mansion, and they met Mu Tingting…” Ye Yihua’s voice paused slightly before he continued, “In front of Lady Xiao, Mu Tingting praised the virtues of the Ghost King, and with all those rumors outside, it inevitably made Lady Xiao interested in the Ghost King. What I want to tell you is that the Xiao Family is immensely powerful. If Lady Xiao takes a liking to Ye Wuchen, do you think you can still be together as intimately as you dream?”
Mu Ruyue laughed again, her stunning visage filled with resolute determination, “No matter who it is, I only believe in Wuchen, and I believe he will never… let me down in this lifetime.”
And she believed in his promise…
Watching the girl’s retreating figure, Ye Yihua almost went mad. Why could she remain so composed when facing the people from the Xiao Family and still speak such words?
Lady Xiao was notorious for her petulance and arrogance, believing she could take whatever she fancied.
So why did Mu Ruyue only say, “I believe in him”?
All of a sudden, Ye Yihua felt envious of Ye Wuchen, envious that he had the discernment to recognize a bright pearl so radiant…
If… if he had never frequented a brothel, and if there were no concubines in his backyard, would he have then had this chance? But Ye Yihua understood that he could not commit to cherishing only one woman for his entire life…
So, in this regard, he was doomed to fall short of the Ghost King.
And he was destined to have no chance with her…
Inside Prince Jing Mansion, Mu Tingting sat in a pavilion, propping her cheeks with her hands as she stared blankly. Draped in a thin veil, her frame seemed frail and boneless, her face so thin that it had become the size of a palm.
It was evident that her days in Prince Jing Mansion were not to her liking.
But more heartbreaking than the physical torment was the indifference from Ye Tianfeng. Even now, she couldn’t believe that Ye Tianfeng, who had sworn to cherish her forever, would treat her in such a way…
What had she done wrong for him to treat her ?
Every day she had to watch him be affectionate with others, listening to those grating noises, God knows how torturous it was for her. Any woman who sees the man she loves in bed with someone else would find it hard not to feel heartbroken.
Now, as soon as she closed her eyes, those scenes would flood her mind…
Mu Tingting laughed, a laugh so wretched, and as she laughed, tears began to fall: “Mu Ruyue, it’s all your fault that I ended up !”
She would never forget what Ye Tianfeng said to her that day…
